- Worth noticing
- The first table covers one room and eight tools; its editor realism ratings are not blind, and there is no overall score yet.
Field notes
The listed test set deliberately includes difficult layouts: sloped attic windows, bay windows, tight floor space, mixed lighting, and a room that is not fully empty. Results separate framing from architecture drift, so a tool can pass one check while failing the other; the table also records output size, processing time, watermarks, and free-tier details. Realism ratings are currently assigned by one editor, with blind ratings described as planned.
